  • Magneto-resistive tachometer kit including two sensor modules providing different resolution quadrature outputs from the same rotor
    Patent number: 5900727
    Abstract: A rotary pulse generator kit for monitoring the rotation of a shaft includes an enclosure capable of accepting two different sensor modules. Each sensor module may include axially aligned magneto-resistive sensing elements that sense magnetic poles imprinted in a pattern on a rotor that rotates with the shaft. Two sensor modules having different incremental pulse output rates may be supplied with the tachometer kit. In this way, the shaft may be monitored by a pair of sensor modules pre-set at different incremental pulse output rates, mounted to the same enclosure.

  • Magneto-resistive tachometer sensor module with different resolution outputs for the same magnetic drum
    Patent number: 5654633
    Abstract: A tachometer for monitoring the rotation of an output shaft (e.g. of a motor, where the motor is enclosed within a standard NEMA housing), includes an enclosure (e.g. adapted to be secured to an end plate of the motor housing), the enclosure having a radial center and a longitudinal axis which, when the enclosure is secured to the housing, are aligned with a longitudinal axis of the output shaft. The enclosure has at least one mounting surface in a peripheral wall portion thereof, the mounting surface having an aperture formed therein which opens in a radial direction. A sensor module including a pair of axially aligned magneto-resistive sensors is mountable on the mounting surface of the enclosure such that the module protrudes through the aperture with the sensors facing radially inwardly.
